Oak's Aides
Introduction Hey guys! I am looking for some hackers to assist in a project I am really interested in. The premise is that you play as a young Samuel Oak as he works his way from being a Pokémon trainer, to being a good trainer, to his eventual quitting and moving to Pokémon research. As some of you may know I am currently also running a lone hack, which is why I would really appreciate some people to help design, make and drive this hack - Rather than letting the idea go to waste. Further Details: Characters include: Samuel/Sammy Oak -Starting out as a young trainer. Agatha -The 'rival' of Oak. She develops a vendetta against Oak (such as that seen in the Pokémon Adventures manga) Bertha -Sister of Agatha, she remains a neutral party - more of an aid than a hinderence. Kurt -Him and his father produce Pokéballs from apricorns collected by the player (similar to GSC) however this is the only means of obtaining Pokéballs, other than as gifts from others. Baoba -A child who roams the Safari Park of Old-Fuschia City, and eventually grows up to be it's warden. Additional characters which could be used for single events: -Pryce - Could have event where you help his Piloswine find the right herbs? -Giovanni's Mother - ran a similar organisation to Team Rocket apparently so that could be used. -Prof.Elm as a child? Things I am unsure about: Region - Kanto? Johto? Both? Whichever is chosen will have to represent a time where the technology is not nearly as advanced as in Red/Blue as it is 35-40 years previous. Original Region, with ending explaining why many residents move to other regions. Flashforwards - Would it be interesting to view AND interact with things Oak does in the future? For instance in special locations,like Pallet, you get a flash forward to events like him giving Ash a Pikachu. Events can show the knock on effects on the future, will be accessible later in the game through Celebi. The flashforwards may reveal secret items, or things people in the future are looking for. What Pokémon should be available? Prof.Oak, unless he was playing dumb, doesn't know of Johto type Pokémon until the time of Fr/Lg - Should this idea be stuck with or could we pretend he lied to the player?... Hm. A variety of 1st-4th Gen Pokémon, making up a unique dex. Which ROM should this be a hack of? GSC 'retro' graphics could benefit the story plot, whereas the advantages to Ruby/FR gives a good starting basis in terms of game mechanics. I think this decision will be decided on by the scripters, ASM makers and the spriters as those are the jobs which differ the most between ROMs. This will be a hack of Fire Red. Jobs Available
Please provide adequete evidence of what you can do, if not I'll ask for more. General queries about how the game should work will be addressed and decided on by the team as a whole and the public. Application Form: Quote:

It's ok for me SwiftSign.
Can i send the scripts until Friday? (I'm busy inserting tiles in pokemon legacy) Oh...and make me a substitute mapper :D I may be wrong but i think that Oak was born in johto. |

Yo team! (And anyone else looking) What do you think of this tree tile: Undecided on it's palette, but the tree tile generally I like :) Kind of similar to FireRed style tree but larger and fuller. |
That's a nice tree tile, it's like a cooler version of FR trees, i would use it ;p

*-**-* Tile update *-**-* So I have found a good minitree :3 There will be more trees in the future, however half of the map is very pine-forest orientated so: From the tileset put together by chimcharsfireworkd. Not sure which specific person made this tree though. |
Where is everyone at?
Tiles update:
|
Them tiles look awesome, Swift! Really good choice! Also i've finished Athaga's battle sprite! Here it is!:

We could do with a good scripter (fanp applied but I'm waiting for an advanced script). In the future we will need some ASM to create some great unique events/features/scripts - I may have to ask in some favours for that and start learning myself as well. We will also need a title screen put together, and the map sprited but those things can wait. Once Chrunch is finished with the first map and I have applied the new tiles to it I shall show everyone :3 |

Here is the Bertha sprite with the changes

This team looks like it's progressing pretty well, and I see that you've chosen to use a fr/lg style, I would suggest using some tiles from alistair and war8, they have some fr/lg styled tiles that may come in handy.
so yeah, anyways, good luck with this hack, seems like it'll become succesful if you keep at it. http://war8.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d4mvqor http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/CKmaster/alistairtiles.png |

Tiles update! I now have most of the nature tiles updated, I think they look amazing together and I've tried mapping with them - looks good! Credits to Zein and Chimcharfireworkd for the tree tiles, everything else is mine or slightly edited nintendo. Tiles still to updates: 2nd House tiles Mountain tiles 'Unique' building tiles. If you have seen any nice ones then PM/VM me a link and I'll see :3 Nice mountain palletes will be the hardest thing. POKéDEX I would like you guys help to pick everyones favourite pokémon from Gen1-4 (or ones you would like to see in a hack) to make our 151 for the region Pokédex. Please pick:
(Try to pick a variety of types, and keep Dragons to a minimum). Pokémon that are included so far, due to story reasons: Charmander Charmeleon Charizard Gastly Haunter Gengar Chansey Dratini Dragonair Dragonite Celebi |
I'll try! :)
3x Non-Evolving Pokémon - Spinda, Heracross and Absol. 3x 2-Stage Evolutions - Lombre, Staravia and Swellow. 3x 3-Stage Evolutions - Flygon?, Walrein and Jumpluff. I hope they are good :D |
I would like to help with the title screen in this romhack, but I have no experience in rom hacking. Would you or would you not accept newbies?

Alrighty! Thanks and no problem! I'm hoping to make my own romhack someday and would love the opportunity of getting some experience! Thanks and I'll make sure to study on the topic!

Alright! I tinkered around with it and I understand how to change the charizard sprite to a different Pokemon sprite and also learned how to change the background of the title screen as well! I haven't learned how to change the Fire Red text quite yet but I'm sure I will find out to soon!
Do you have an idea of what you want the title screen of this rom hack to look like? |
Quote:
Spoiler:
EDIT: The screen size should be 240 x 160. |
WHOA! I'm a noob to forum sites in general so I don't know to show I'm replying to Elite Charizard XD. I'm acquainted with irfanview but I have a few questions involving the picture. How did you make that title screen? Did you use something like gimp or photoshop?

3x Non-Evolving Pokémon- Suicune, Ditto & Articuno
3x 2-Stage Evolutions- Eevee, Misdrevous & Sneasel 3x 3-Stage Evolutions- Beautifly, Luxario & Metagross |

That is a very well thought out event. I like it a lot Lol.

Swift! That is a really awesome idea!

Spoiler:
There are now 15 flying types, so no more flying will be included from now on (unless, for instance, it is one out of a 3 chain evolution of a minority type). |
Progress update :3 Thanks to Chrunch we now have the first town done, and I have applied the new tiles to create this beauty:
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d178/prossy/FirstTown.png I have done two more maps, which I'll put up soon to get some feedback and things, and then scripting will start. Speaking of scripting - does anyone know how to use the day/night system in scripting? To say... make a berry tree that replenishes every midnight? Berry trees are quite important in oldy-worldy pokémon so that would be great. Otherwise I have a few backup plans. Feel free to add some more pokémon to the list! In particular, fighting and psychic are looking a bit lacking. |
I dunno people's opinions on them, but why not include the Hitmon family (Tyrogue, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Hitmontop), as that one family diversity for Fighting types.
/end of random injection |
SwiftSign sorry for not send you another script but now that i will start scripting my hack again, i will send you the script.

Hey once I fix something about my composing skills I can make the music if you want!
...okay and as for the image I would like the ^^ Treecko, but if you can't I'll take the Grovyle bleh |

wha. . . Can I be a munchlax, there so cute; and they're always eating. <3
|
So um yeah...
Is there anything started yet? |
Quote:
Once I have this Berry Tree stuff down, we will start scripting :3 Also I edited the textbox but not sure if I like it yet. |
I noticed you're working on the starters.
For the starters I'll just make a list of every basic Pokémon (i.e. Metapod, Squirtle, etc.) Spoiler:
|
Hi guys! :)
I've checked up with a few of you recently, sorry but I'm quite busy at the moment so hesitant to start the scripting process as I will most likely be distracted. Anyway, I bring you a give, a mini userbar: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d178/prossy/Userbar2.png [IMG*]http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d178/prossy/Userbar2.png[/IMG] Please keep suggesting Pokémon for the 'dex. Also if you guys have any other ideas for characters to appear then please give your 2 cents (or more) as I'd love to hear it. |
So are we going to move this to DS once the map tool comes out :sidenote:
Well I hope you get what you need to get done soon, we'll all be waiting! |
Quote:
As much as I would love to move the hack on to a DS system: - I have zero experience - We would still need a scripting tool? (Or a tutorial for the bytes/raws per command) - DS Emulators hate me :P |

Quote:
But anyways. Okay |
Quote:
|
Comments and Critique? The egg colours will related to the Pokémon itself, not specifically it's colour. These are just FR-OW recolours, if anyone would like to make an egg that can be easily recoloured like this one then by all means show me! ^-^ All the starters will be two-stage Pokémon. But the green one is the only one finalised. |
What IS the green one?
And yeah it's great. |
Quote:
|
I think Xatu is good
just my suggestion |
Quote:
Would it be weird to have 4 psychic based starters? Drowsee (Psychic) - Yellow Xatu (Psy/Flying) - Green Exeggcute (Psy/Grass) - Pink Meditite (Psy/Fighting) - Blue They're all equally weak against Ghost Pokémon, which means no starter gives you an advantage against Agatha later in the game. |
But:
Flying>Grass Flying>Fighting The only one that has advantages is Xatu. I don't know, but you could add a second rival? I'm pretty sure you can. Here are some cycles: Spoiler:
|
Quote:
|
Well, in that case I have no idea. There's only two people...and there's no strategizing.
Oh well, I guess Xatu and dem three can work well enough. |
Hey swiftsign i can insert tiles for you. any tile u desire?
|
Quote:
|
Wow, the screenshot looks pretty nice! :) The starters sound good too! So how's the progress going? (Oh and it's chrunch ;D)
|
Quote:
Progress at the moment is slow, I have an essay and presentation to do/prepare for this week and another essay next week... I'll be doing bits of scripting here and there but other than that it's minimal :( Are you busy at the moment? I might make you up a patch to get started on Route 2 / Edit the second town anyway you see fit. |
Sure, I can have a go. Yeah, this is my new account.
|
Thats okay just thought id offer :)
Btw this is turning out to be better then i thought, the idea to make a game on oaks life was brilliant. The screen is nice, how long does it take for an egg to hatch? Or will we have to go walking alot before we start our journey lol. Keen for more updates :D |
what is the current status of the hack
|
Quote:
So how did the berry system turn out? |
Sorry guys I haven't reported back in a while, I have the final essay of my degree this week, and final exams coming up next month so I'm quite busy.

|
Hey, how's the hack going? Have you done anything new?
|
Quote:
I have exams coming up, and whilst I'll be doing bits between revision nothing much will be done until June now (last exam June 1st! Yay!). |
Soo is there anything in particular you think you could assign to us? I in particular want to do something.
|
Quote:
How about we do some idea brainstorming between us / do pokédex stuff / name towns, etc. Get little bits out the way. |
damn you
Name towns it is! What should the names be based on? For example, Kanto -> colors, Unova -> cloud types, etc. |
Quote:
ERERER *tries to think up a theme* Flowers? Fruits? Types of blood sucking insects? Any other ideas throw them at me XD aha. |
Maybe since the hero is Prof. Oak we should stick with the Kanto color theme?
|
Quote:
|
Actually I think flowers are a great idea.

Rose Valley
Sunflora Village Blooming Town |
Middlemist ---
Ixora --- Solandra --- Hmmmmmmmmm yeah Quote:
|
Just wanna say this hack sounds and looks awesome; I'll definitely be supporting it. I wish I could make hacks xD
I'm too much of a technophobe ¬.¬ Oh and good luck with your exams ^+^ |
Quote:
Sunflora~ is a pokémon, and I'd rather not have a village full of them :O. Blooming Town... Idk it just seems to cheesey to me? Quote:
Floret is a bit too similar to just 'Flower', IMO. Quote:
Thanks! |
Hey guys!
My exams finish on Friday so after this weekend I shall be 100% back on task :) over the last few weeks all I have really done is research and planning, however I did knock up some quick alternative emotes (although most were just simple edits). There's one more emote, the smiley face, but I'm not sure what to change it to yet. Any ideas people? Perhaps a symbol that can indicate our time travel / Celebi communication later in the game? |

The main OW we need, really, is the protagonist's. This is the canon Sammy Oak, personally I think he does look a bit plain - but any sprite you can do which resembles him would be a great start! [Also what pokésymbol would you like by your name? Gen1-4) |
